Bottom cover held with magnets... this is the sort of attention to detail you rarely see from PC vendors these days. It's clear that Microsoft is taking repairability very seriously. Thumbs up.

"Bald" of you talking about my grandpa's hair

It looks like MS is making progress compared to previous models. Good on them!

From nightmare to repair to solid 8 score, WOW!

Who remembers when "Surface" was a smart table, before Microsoft rebranded the name into a line of computers? That table was pretty cool, but I don't know a single business that owned one.

Replacing the 256GB SSD on my Laptop 7 with 2TB later today. I read the service manual yesterday, but your teardown really assuaged any worries I had about the process. Love how easy MS made accessing the internals. In previous generations, you basically destroyed the rubber feet to get them off.

Why can't Apple make an easy repairable device like that

[limewire]

Thank you for showing us and for your work! :) Great!

[ecnitsolutions]

Excellent progress, I am excited for the future.

I've been looking forward to this teardown since the surface announcement. Many thanks.

Much better than previous Surface devices. I remember when Surface Laptops could only be accessed via destroying them, making them consumable (when the battery died, you couldn't replace it) and I also remember the Surface Pro batteries being glued in so tightly, an inverted pint glass could be stuck to the chassis (via the remaining adhesive) with no problems.

we also need to upgrade the ram modules like SSDs

Incroyablement utile ! Très bonne vidéo...

[soviut]

Good to see more players really getting into repairability like this.

[cadenchurchill]

Wow, I’m actually much more impressed than I thought I’d be.

[mphillips]

I've been waiting for this video. Repairability should be just as important as any other feature when purchasing an expensive electronic device.

[limewire]

Awesome to see for me, that the Hardware on the Surface Laptop including battery is switchable and reperable. Thats nice.

Wow, they are surprisingly servicable devices. I didn't expect this for an outcome.
